Our listing standards

Campground Fieldguide is an independent directory designed to help campers understand their options and find official information. Accurate details matter more than the number of listings.

Where information comes from

Our initial listings draw from public state and federal park websites and other operator-provided descriptions. Every park profile points to an official operator source. A directory listing is a starting point for research, not a replacement for campground staff or the reservation service.

Park-level versus site-level amenities

When a listing shows “full-hookup options,” that means the park has been identified as offering some campsites in that category. It does not mean every campsite includes a sewer connection or that a matching site is currently available. The same distinction applies to water and electric hookups, tents, cabins, accessibility and pet policies.

No invented ratings or live inventory

We do not assign star ratings to parks that lack firsthand or verified visitor-review data. We don't estimate live availability or fabricate campsite prices. Sites can change policies, restrict access or close areas on short notice.

What we are improving

Our priorities are reliable amenity comparisons, clearer region filters, source attribution and a repeatable review schedule. Guides provide general decision-making help, with official park sources supplied whenever a current claim matters.

Corrections and updates

Check the source link in an individual park listing for the latest official information. A direct corrections contact method is being established; until then, do not rely on this site as the sole source for safety or reservation decisions.

Advertising and transparency

If advertising, affiliate relationships or sponsored listings are introduced, we will disclose them. Editorial listings are not currently ranked by payment.
